Concerning book "computer organization and design" by Patterson, Hessney: I do not understand if the assembly code in book is a simpliefied MIPS R2000 or another MIPS chip. When I search more exercises on the internet, I always find exercises with a wider istruction set than the one in reference data attached to the book.
On IRC, a person said that it could be https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DLX
Do you agree?

Now it's time to me to find a good resource for exercises. I don't like much using SPIM
